Russell Sweet St. Louis: Vince Vaughn and director David O. Russell will likely team up on Old St. Louis. The film, written by Russell, tells the story of a traveling salesman and absentee father (Vaughn) whose life changes when “his daughter becomes part of his life" (shades of Somewhere, no?). Kick-Ass star Chloe Moretz - who is quickly becoming the new Dakota Fanning - has been mentioned as a possibility for the daughter role. [Deadline] Good Robot: J.J. Abrams’s Bad Robot has picked up the rights to Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel, a movie adaptation of the graphic novel by Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett about a robot in the Victorian Age. Boilerplate follows the “world’s first robot,” who - get ready - “in the late 19th and early 20th centuries... fought alongside Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia, journeyed to the South Pole and was involved in the silent movie business before disappearing on the battlefields of World War I."

[Pitchfork] Party On: HBO is teaming with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s production company to develop a comedy series project starring Lizzy Caplan (Party Down, True Blood). The series is based on Julie Klausner’s memoir I Don’t Care About Your Band, a “gritty but comedic look at what it’s like to navigate the dating world in your 20s.” Lizzy Caplan continuing to appear on TV is a very good thing.

The Defense Secretary also said the incident may actually result in policy changes in terms of how information is communicated to troops. “We endeavor to push access to sensitive battlefield information down to where it is most useful — on the front lines — where as a practical matter there are fewer restrictions and controls than at rear headquarters,” Gates told reporters at the Pentagon. “In the wake of this incident, it will be a real challenge to strike the right balance between security and providing our frontline troops the information they need.”

Deadline says a deal was closed earlier this week “under the utmost secrecy,” and the DeGeneres announcement was made once J. Lo had signed. (When asked about the Lopez rumor, Fox had no comment.)

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 29 Jul 2010 | 8:00 pm Gossip Girl Producers Dish On Chuck's Fate, Filming In Paris and Jenny Humphrey's Return With six weeks to go before the Sept. 13 season premiere of Gossip Girl, producers are beginning to get chatty about the new season and the much-anticipated Paris episodes. In addition to debuting the first footage from the two-episode arc for TV critics Thursday, producers also confirmed-- parlez vous spoilers? -- that, duh, Chuck Bass is totally alive (but he'll be walking with a cane!). They also revealed that scenes were shot at Musee D'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, Gare du Nord and Avenue Montaigne. Some other tidbits and teases from executive producers Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz: -- A giant female music personality is close to signing on for a guest role. "She'll not only preform an original song but will also act with the characters," Savage teases. "She's both new and iconic." (Madonna, perhaps?) Look for the performance during episode seven, right in time for November sweeps. -- Yes, Dan is seen with Georgina's baby in an early episode. But is the kid, you know, his? Savage isn't being helpful: "Georgina's baby is Georgina's baby," she told us. "And you will learn all as the episodes unfold." But she did promise the show would not be doing "a baby fake-out" and said we'll "be seeing Georgina Sparks in more ways than one." (Wait, is that sign of a twin twist?) As for what seems to be a teen pregnancy storyline, Savage argues: Not really. "Is Georgina really a teen? I think she might be immortal. She may be 200 years old," Savage says. The storyline will balance laughs and drama, she added: "There's a lot of humor coming from young people trying to deal with this unexpected situation, but there's also a lot of underlying heart and emotion in the story, too." -- Taylor Momsen's Jenny Humphrey will definitely return next fall. "We wanna keep it up in the air where her character will go," Savage says, once again refusing to spill much. "Obviously she left in a dramatic fashion at end of last season. We’re excited about being able to create some tension about her character. I don’t want to say exactly which episode (she returns), but it’ll be in first half of season." -- Some more on Chuck, post-shooting: "He has a cane and we discover that he may not have gotten the best medical care possible," Savage says. -- Sorry, Carla Bruni will not be making a visit to Gossip Paris. Nor will Woody Allen, even though the director "was shooting while we were there," Savage says. "We were hoping we would run across them so we could have a random shot of Woody and Serena crossing the street." -- What up with Vanessa and Dan? "Vanessa is back from Haiti and she's definitely going to be in the Dan story," Savage says. -- Savage confirmed a report from earlier this month that the show will do an episode tied to Vogue's Fashion's Night Out. Diane von Furstenberg will have a cameo. -- If Savage gets her way, there'll be more Gossip road trips in the future. "When we came away from Paris, we were like, 'Tokyo!' Now that we’ve done it once, we’re completely arrogant and want to take on all countries. International travel is part of the characters' lives. We’d love to do more of it."

Jan Brewer has announced she’s appealing the federal judge’s decision. She's asking for an expedited appeal, with arguments set for mid-September. Most legal experts, though, have said the case will likely make its way up to the Supreme Court, meaning it could be a few years before a final verdict. "America is not going to sit back and allow the ongoing federal failures to continue," Brewer said. "We are a nation of laws and we believe they need to be enforced. If the federal government wants to be in charge of illegal immigration and they want no help from states, it then needs to do its job. Arizona would not be faced with this problem if the federal government honored its responsibilities."

DeGeneres announced her departure via a press release issued by Fox (as well as her own Twitter feed) late Thursday, saying she told the show's producers a few months ago that the show "didn't feel like the right fit for me." Her exit had been hinted at in recent days as word spread of Nigel Lythgoe's return to Idol as one of several executive producers, prompting speculation that all bets were off when it came to the future shape of the Idol judging panel. While DeGeneres' resignation probably won't be seen as a big loss — reviews and fan reaction to her first (and only) season on the show were decidedly tepid — Idol is getting dangerously close to being seen as a show in panic mode. Finding a credible, respected replacement for Simon Cowell, and announcing that person quickly, has now become a priority for Fox and the producers of Idol. DeGeneres said she delayed making her exit known because she "didn't want to Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Fox's TV Critics Association press tour session Monday, where reporters will be expecting the network to offer some sort of clarity about the show's future — even if a replacement for Cowell isn't named. What's puzzling about the recent Idol drama is that the show actually remains in darn good shape for a 10-year-old show. Yes, its ratings have been declining, but at a slower pace than some major scripted hits (like Grey's Anatomy, for example). And that's even after a bad year, when the contestants were almost universally panned, and Cowell had clearly checked out, resulting in a slew of stories understandably bemoaning how lame Idol had become. But as long as producers manage to find more interesting finalists, and don't mess up the pick for replacing Cowell (Bret Michaels is out of the mix, so that's a good sign), there's no reason Idol won't remain No. 1 for at least another season.

Source: Daily Intel | 29 Jul 2010 | 4:03 pm Congratulations, Britney Spears: You, Too, Have Now Sampled Lafayette Afro Rock Band The horn line on “Darkest Light,” the 1975 jam from French funk act Lafayette Afro Rock Band — you’d know it if you heard it — is one of those timeless hip-hop samples, and appears as the centerpiece of Jay-Z’s “Show Me What You Got,” Public Enemy’s “Show ‘Em Whatcha Got,” and Wreckx-N-Effect's “Rump Shaker” (along with tracks from a whole bunch of other people). Also, now, on a song by Britney Spears! A new batch of outtakes (coming hot on the heels of the serendipitous release of her “Telephone” demo) has surfaced, and it includes “Mad Love,” a flirty slow jam built around the familiar Lafayette riff. Otherwise, not much to say here: Whoever made the call to leave these tracks on the studio floor — there’s also the stern “Am I a Sinner” and the anti-monogamy “When I Say So,” which features the lyrics “you’re feeling me, my jeans, my baby tee” — did the right thing (by the way, Spears was supposedly recording a new album for this summer, but Idolator theorizes these particular tracks are leftovers from 2001’s Britney). Still, it is nice that we’ve gotten to the point where we’re willing to trudge through random Britney demos as if they were unmarked tapes from the Sgt. Pepper sessions or something. "Mad Love"

After a blogger found Rodarte's MAC nail polish named "Juarez" offensive, MAC decided to donate proceeds from the collection to victims in Juarez, Mexico. Today the makeup brand announced that in addition to those charitable contributions and changing the names of the products in the collection, they'll also redo its marketing materials. A press release outlined specifics about the promised charity efforts: All profits from the collection worldwide will go to a "newly created initiative to raise awareness and provide on-the-ground support to the women and girls in Juarez." MAC and Rodarte apologize again in the release for unintentionally causing so much upset.
MAC will work with officials in the coming weeks to come up with a plan for awarding grants to organizations that help women in Juarez. The company also notes that it employs more than 150 people in Mexico. And all this came from a tiny label on the bottom of a bottle of nail polish. Way to go, MAC.

As far as mainstream TV dramas go, this is fairly unprecedented stuff: Masochism is typically treated as joke (Desperate Housewives) or as prelude to grisly murder (CSI). On Mad Men, however, Don’s shocking but brief, slap-happy sexual interlude is not just stratospherically, nakedly Oedipal, it makes sense — both for him, and as a kind of mirror of fans' obsession with the show. Weiner could kill this story line at any minute, but it will be fascinating to see how far he pushes it — and us. (SPOILER ALERT: According to IMDb, we'll see the escort, Candace, again, in episode three, when Don "goes to Acapulco." Cast lists beyond that episode are not available.) For three seasons, Don has crafted alluring commercial fantasies while working through a retinue of sexual fantasies: the dream girl, the bohemian, the mother figure, and even the worthy adversary, Bobbie Barrett, who shared Don's most consistent kink: "Being bad, and then going home and being good." Now that his favorite fetish is off the menu, he's found another. Maybe Don is just another executive top who likes to play bottom for kicks. Perhaps he wants to be punished for his divorce. Maybe Don — who once told Bobbie, "I don't feel anything" — just needs to keep creating more extreme sexual experiences in order to feel something. But Don likely wants to be punished because he knows he's such an epic fraud. (Recently on NPR, Matt Weiner compared Dick Whitman's "false self" Don Draper to Norma Jean Mortensen's Marilyn Monroe.) And Don's most secret shame is that he was only conceived because his father was too much of a cheapskate to spring for a "sheath": He’s still afraid that he's just like pops. "Stop telling me what to do, I know what you want," is also the kind of line you can imagine Matt Weiner (or Damon Lindelof or J.J. Abrams) saying to a demanding, obsessive, needy fans, who are practically tied down to the bedposts of a long TV series. In some way, showrunners are TV’s doms: They control the narrative, and fans’ access to pleasure, but they ultimately serve at the bottoms' leisure (we pay in Nielsen points). Mad Men, in particular, has always thrived because of its particularly obsessive fandom, with its object (the typewriters, the fonts) and fashion fetishes (the skirts, the suits). Mad Men is built to be the kind of show you lust after, obsess over, and role-play on Halloween in a tight little skirt and big red wig. Whether you’re into Silver Foxes or Brassy Bombshells or Perky Secretaries or Nerdy Catholic Girls or just plain Tall, Dark, and Mysterious, Mad Men has your vintage fetish covered. But Mad Men's biggest turn-on isn't just the style: It's always been the kink, the naughtiness, the flat-out wrongness of it all. Sex is never white-bread or healthy, it is illicit, adulterous, violent, or just plain weird, it's always naughty, always bad. ("Being bad is sexy," Christina Hendricks explained to us last year.) And because of the period, there's an exaggerated titillation to intercourse as art-directed here: Sex that isn't really all that crazy by CW standards can suddenly seem wild (Don's having sex in a car?!) as if nostalgia is a kind of kink multiplier, making every act of vintage copulation at least 40 percent hotter than it would be today. The show's eroticism thrums with this element of disaster sex (screwing while Vietnam rages) and with this tension between nostalgic pleasure (those sexy fonts) and historical pain (racism, sexism, homophobia). Mainly, though, sex on Mad Men is bad. We love that it's bad. And we may even want to be punished for how much we enjoy watching it. There are very few sex scenes that aren't followed by something crazily harsh. The show often balances our pleasure with punishment: Roger Sterling has an office romp with a twin, then he has a heart attack. Pete and Peggy have a hot affair, then he gets engaged and she gets pregnant. Sal finds a bellhop: The building catches on fire. Joan finds a handsome doctor: She gets raped. Don gets his name on the door: He gets slapped. If you're a fan, these wrenching reversals can be painful — but they're also what give the show its edge. Like Don, Mad Men fans like the feeling of being bad for an hour before we go back to being good. And, like Don, maybe fans like getting slapped around a little, too.

Source: Vulture | 29 Jul 2010 | 3:45 pm Citigroup Settles Subprime Charges If you thought SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami had finished kicking ass and taking names over the financial crisis when he reaped his settlement from Goldman Sachs, you were wrong, friend. Today, the Enforcer announced that the agency would be collecting some cash money from Citigroup and two of its top executives for saying back in 2007 that the bank's exposure to subprime was, oh, around $36 billion less than it actually was. Now, we know you're dying to know: How much is a lie that big worth? How much can a company that (after being bailed out by the U.S. taxpayer) has a market cap of $120 billion afford? How much should the top executives who through sheer negligence allowed their company to accumulate so many worthless securities it became a danger to not only itself but the financial system as a whole, then lied about it hoping that nobody would notice, have to pay? What price honesty? It's priceless, really. So, the agency went with roughly what CEO Vikram Pandit spends on wine in a year: Citigroup agreed to pay a $75 million penalty. Former chief financial officer Gary Crittenden agreed to pay $100,000, and former head of investor relations Arthur Tildesley, Jr., (currently the head of cross marketing at Citigroup) agreed to pay $80,000.

Source: The Cut | 29 Jul 2010 | 3:10 pm McGuirk to Produce CNN’s Spitzer-Parker ShowCNN president Jon Klein has settled on a new executive producer for the upcoming Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker program. According to people familiar with the show’s development, CNN is expected to name Liza McGuirk, a CNN and CBS News veteran who is currently producing Fareed Zakaria’s weekend program, GPS. McGuirk's hiring for the 8 p.m. slot plugs a hole that Klein has been struggling to fill since announcing the Spitzer-Parker show back in June. Earlier this month, CNN was close to landing Rachel Maddow’s producer Bill Wolff, but Wolff had second thoughts and remained at MSNBC. McGuirk's hiring affirms that Klein wants the Spitzer-Parker show to feature highbrow discussion, perhaps to avoid criticism that he's putting a shoutfest like Crossfire back on the air. McGuirk was the fifth person hired by CNN back in 1980. Before rejoining CNN in 2009, McGuirk spent years at 60 Minutes as a producer for the late correspondent Ed Bradley. She will have an extra couple of weeks to get the show off the air: Initially, CNN planned a debut in late September, but now the show isn't set to air until early October. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. Read more posts by Gabriel Sherman Filed Under: cable news news, cable news, cnn, eliot spitzer, kathleen parker, liza mcguirk
Source: Daily Intel | 29 Jul 2010 | 3:05 pm Obviously, iPhone’s FaceTime Feature Will Be Used for Porn By now, we've all seen the poignant Apple commercials demonstrating the special moments that iPhone 4's new FaceTime feature — essentially a face-to-face video chat — makes possible. A grandfather marveling at his newborn granddaughter. A father forcing his daughter to crack a smile so he can see her braces. A woman telling her husband that she's finally pregnant. While the reaction for most people is, "Awww," the reaction of the porn industry was, "Yay, a new thing that we can put vaginas on!" And so, despite Apple's moral crusade to keep smut off of its phones, plans are already in the works for FaceTime porn. A spokesman for Pink Visual, a porn company, says that in "a matter of weeks" they'll start offering one-on-one FaceTime sessions with its porn stars for "$5 or $6 a minute, payable by credit card." Craigslist ads are also popping up across the country searching for women interested in taking part in the newest frontier of porn technology. And there's nothing Apple can do about it, since they have no way of controlling how you use FaceTime. Steve Jobs may be a powerful man, but preventing the porn industry from co-opting a new form of technology is like trying to keep bloodthirsty zombies out of your house. You can board up the windows and bar the doors, but eventually they'll find a way in anyway.

Source: Daily Intel | 29 Jul 2010 | 2:51 pm Will Steve Cohen Settle Now? Patricia Cohen filed an amended complaint today in New York federal court seeking a $2.7 million plus interest from her ex-husband Steve Cohen, the billionaire owner of hedge fund SAC Capital. The relatively meager sum looks a lot more realistic than the sensational $300 million claim she asked for this past spring. This time she’s outing the other traders who, according to the complaint, fed Steve Cohen inside information while he was still an up-and-comer. According to the complaint, Drexel Burnham securities trader Bruce Newberg and his boss Dennis Levine, who Steve and friends called the "Wharton Mafia," shared private deal-making news about RCA that ended up scoring Cohen a $10 million profit. (Bonus archive link: Newberg and Levine were both involved in the Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky trading scandals back in the eighties, as you can see in this vintage New York column by Christopher Byron.) Considering press reports say Steve is worth around $6 billion, why doesn’t he just pay her off? It could still happen. But then the guy known to bust balls at SAC would have to admit that his ex-wife's case isn't totally unfounded. That just doesn't look good, especially when you’re trying to sell a stake in your firm.

In fact, you might even get the impression that I’m wearing an Enya T-shirt right now or that I’m the President of the Enya Fan Club. Not the case. Not at all! So of course I demanded a retraction. To be fair, there’s no way a 69-year-old mother could have realized that listening to Enya might be considered a little embarrassing for a son whose first concert was seeing Johnny Rotten circa 1985.

Yogi Bear.The internet is abuzz this morning with various degrees of complaint about the Yogi Bear trailer, and with good reason — it indeed looks terrible: It’s a CGI-fest starring Dan Aykroyd for some reason that’s likely to insult the intelligence of sub-one-year-olds. This seems unarguable. But rather than just blindly complain about how it’s molesting our childhood or whatever, honestly, what were people expecting from a Yogi Bear movie? Let’s discuss after the jump:
Yogi Bear is a 50-year-old cartoon about a bear based on a Honeymooners character and named after a Yankee who wears a tie and steals picnic baskets and gets chased by a ranger who always ends up getting messed up. Is a dumb-looking film adaptation really murdering the source material? What did we expect, Paul Thomas Anderson hijacking the project and turning it into some dark, avant-garde meta-animation? Granted, the trailer does look exceptionally stupid, but let’s not act like if the Yogi Bear cartoon came out today, we’d actually care about it. The nostalgic outrage reminds me of when the Inspector Gadget movie came out and many 80s-kids — myself included — whined about how bad it looked and how they were ruining a cartoon we loved growing up. Obviously I still have fond memories of that show, but seriously, every single episode involved Gadget misunderstanding everything in some impossibly ignorant way, then bumbling through the case as Penny and Brain solved everything on their computer book behind the scenes (very prescient with that computer book, huh?) Sure, the movie was dumb, but it’s not like they butchered Catcher In The Rye, they just updated a thing that I was too young to think was stupid to a time when I was no longer too young to think it was stupid. We can complain about the actual Yogi Bear trailer itself, and the laziness of the CGI and the voice acting, and about this golden age of Hollywood brand-pilfering, and be completely right to do so. But c’mon people, it’s not like they’re ruining The Flintstones (already done) or Looney Tunes or The Muppets — just because it’s based on an old thing doesn’t mean that old thing wasn’t also kinda stupid. It’s a bad-looking movie, but really, this film isn’t destroying our childhoods, it’s just the product of completely standard Hollywood laziness.
